Overview

Research quality is not a single step at the end of a project

Research quality depends on clear setup, fieldwork monitoring, validation rules, clean data handling and transparent reporting.

Structured quality checks across the workflow

Market Intelligence Unit uses a structured approach to help clients reduce avoidable errors, improve response quality and deliver more reliable research outputs.

Our quality process can be aligned with the client brief, platform setup, fieldwork plan, validation rules and final reporting requirements.

Quality Framework

Five quality checkpoints across research execution

Our quality framework helps keep survey setup, fieldwork, validation and delivery aligned with the research objective and project brief.

Project Setup Review

Confirm questionnaire, sample plan, quotas, logic, deliverables and project expectations before execution begins.

Pre-launch Testing

Review programmed survey paths, respondent experience, device behavior and data exports before full launch.

In-field Monitoring

Track completes, quotas, incidence, dropouts, field progress and early data quality signals.

Post-field Validation

Apply agreed checks for duplicates, speeders, straightliners, inconsistencies and poor open-ends.

Delivery Review

Confirm datasets, tables, charts and reports align with the project brief and agreed deliverables.

Responsible Data Handling

Confidentiality and data handling aligned with project requirements

We work with client-provided requirements for confidentiality, consent, secure file transfer and data handling. Where projects require specific compliance steps, we align our workflow to the agreed project instructions and partner requirements.

  • Client data handling requirements are reviewed as part of project setup.
  • Secure file transfer methods can be aligned with client instructions.
  • Consent and fieldwork requirements are handled according to the agreed project process.
  • Partner requirements can be incorporated when projects involve external fieldwork support.
  • Compliance statements are included only when verified and documented.
